How to Switch Between Account in Google Platform: Drive, Docs, YouTube, Gmail

Google Products

We use Google a lot, becoming increasingly dependent on their services. Google offers many web-based platforms, such as Google Docs, which can replace Microsoft Office. Often, we have more than one Google account – one for work and another for personal use. It's not convenient to have them running on the same browser, but there's a trick to switch between those accounts.

The trick lies in the URL. When you open Google Docs, you'll notice the URL https://docs.google.com/u/0. By changing the 0 to 1, the URL becomes https://docs.google.com/u/1, and it will switch to your second account.

If you have a third account, change the 1 to 2, and continue increasing the number for additional accounts.

The number in the URL (u/0/ or u/1/) represents the user account context within the Google Docs environment. Google allows users to be signed in to multiple Google accounts simultaneously in a single browser session. The number indicates which user account is being accessed:

u/0/: This usually refers to the first Google account signed in during your browser session. It is the default account. and u/1/: This refers to the second Google account signed in. If you have more accounts signed in, you might see u/2/, u/3/, and so on.

Essentially, the number helps Google determine which account's permissions and settings to apply when accessing the document.

This method also applies to other Google services: 
- Google Search: https://www.google.com/?authuser=0 
- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/?authuser=0 
- Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/u/0 
- Google Sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0 
- Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps?authuser=0
- Gmail: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0 
- Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/?authuser=0 
- Google AdSense: https://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0
- Blogger : https://draft.blogger.com/u/0
- Account activity: https://myactivity.google.com/u/0/myactivity

And many other Google services. You just need to change the number 0 to the index number of your account.

Web-based platforms offer simplicity, speed, and no need for installation. They run on the cloud, making data available on the go without worrying about carrying a hard drive. You can access it anywhere.

This is one of the many reasons behind Google's success. They aren't just a search engine; they've incorporated and replaced many other systems with innovative products like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more.

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...
